Perfect Your Patience by Brother Curtis Hansen

         Good morning. We are going to be reading in a couple of places this morning. This message is a continuation of the one given on 8/9. We will begin with James chapter 5 and verses 7-8.


        7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

        8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.


        Last Sunday, the message was getting ahead of God. God's will is in these holy scriptures. Does the Lord delight or does he prefer obedience? The Lord doesn't care for continual sacrifice to him; he wants his followers to obey his word. Samuel had figured this out and had seen bad leadership. You could look at the priest Eli and his wicked sons.

        Sin is gradual. God shows up suddenly. Otherwise heading in the wrong direction. You're operating in emotion and foolish thinking. The Lord's will and the world's way led to two different outcomes.

        Patience is a state of mind, a discipline to strengthen in your life. Patience is the key to a positive outcome in your life. God wants to be involved in your life. God wants to be involved in your life. Don't be emotional or bend to the spirit of rush. Filter your thoughts and actions through the word. Let's look at 1 Samuel chapter 15 verse 23.


        23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath rejected thee from being king.


        Iniquity is doing my way rather than God's way. Let patience have her perfect work on your anxiety. Stubbornness as iniquity and idolatry. We can make anything an idol. It's rooted in stubbornness. 

        Not every door is God's will. God will open doors but not all of them are in God's will. The things you care about may become an idol in your life. All doors are from God. What do you hold higher than God in your life? 

        Your role is predestined but your choices are not. Faith is not pretending that facts don't exist. Do you want to know how big your covering can reach? It can cover sinners that are in your life.

        Establish your hearts. Don't let every lie shake your very foundation. Be grounded in something. Choose Jesus. Jesus has all the authority. Stop serving the devil by giving him credit for everything. All sins have 3 punishments which is fined, sentenced, or put to death.

        In conclusion, don't call yourself a Christian and continue to do what you want.

What Are You Preparing For? by Brother Curtis Hansen

           Christians know the aspects and results of the Holy Ghost but many don't know how to harness the power. When man was created in the second chapter of Genesis, the first assignment given to him from God was work. If you are imbued with power, you grow fruits of the spirit in your life. What you don't know is a hinderance. If you read scripture, the spirit will lead you to all truth. It will be at his own pace. Work is a gift and not a punishment. Work is meant to be enjoyed. Line up your life with the scripture. In church, everyone wants prayer, nobody wants to learn.          To paraphrase Hosea 4:6; my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because they reject knowledge. The hinderances in your life are ever present but they lie in wait.          Do you know how to create presence? Who is the church for? It isn't for the saved nor unsaved, but it is for God. Why are we here? It's for the pres...

A Message of Hope by Brother Duke Hansen

           Good morning. This message is for Easter 2026. It will not be the retelling of the story of Jesus' resurrection. Instead, we are going to turn to the book of Romans chapter 8 and begin reading with verse 3.          3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;          In Judaism before the time of Jesus' ministry, the people would sacrifice different animals as offerings in the temple. If there was one made for sin, it was designed to roll the sin back a year. These sins were never forgiven. Israel in 2026 does not follow this law or practice. If you are seeking the truth and God, those will be the only things remain in the end of times. Jesus had condemned sin in the flesh which you and I cannot do. He was the Son of God and Son of Man. There is no righteousness unless you...

Context Is Everything by Brother Curtis Hansen

           Good morning. Today, we will be reading from the book of Luke. We will be in chapter 4 and start with verse 1 to verse 13. It should read very familiar to many here this morning as it is the account of Jesus' time in the wilderness and being tempted.          And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the spirit into the wilderness.          2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.          3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.          4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.          5 And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of...
